P-Patches,
Part 2: Local Food from Local Gardens
April 17, 2008
Next up is Green Acre Radio with stories of sustainable living, the
environment and you. This week we continue the three part series on
community gardens, otherwise known as “p-patches.” Urban
community gardens are becoming an important part of the local food supply
and a sustainable solution for alleviating hunger, as well as, the climate
impacts from transporting food. This week we join local gardeners and
learn about a Local Food Action Initiative.

P-Patches,
Part 3: Marra Farm

April 24, 2008
To begin our Earth Day section, Martha Baskin of Green Acre Radio concludes
her 3 part series on community gardens with a visit to Marra Farm. Like
Picardo P-Patch from Part I of this series, Marra is a historical farm
within Seattle city limits. At Marra, growing food for as many people
as possible isn't only a mission appealing to adults, but a hands-on
(and sometimes funny) educational experience for children.
